I’m guessing I’m a bit more urban and left-leaning than Neil Snyder (Letters, June 2021, “Changes”), but I largely agree with him about HCN. Yet I’m sticking with you for now, renewing for just one year based on Jennifer Sahn’s first issue as editor-in-chief. She may not be a physicist, like HCN’s best in my memory, but thank God she’s not a preacher, like the worst. As long as HCN remembers that BLM means more than Black Lives Matter — say their names, but abbreviate such a worthy statement, really?? — but rather the Bureau of Land Management, full of its own controversies, HCN will not have lost its soul.
